Anon has a decent understanding of the ERCOT/Texas energy situation in Texas if anons have questions.
Let's start with the media (as always) has it wrong.)
Watched the cnn interview this morning with Magness just now. He's a rockstar, IMHO. What a great interview.
Anyway, it was that close. Just like you don't build a church for Easter or Christmas, this grid is not meant to withstand this shock. The fact that it went so far south for the bad weather exacerbated the problem on this grid.
What most people don't understand is that the grid must stay balanced. Supply must equal demand within a strict percentage or the grid becomes unstable and collapses. That's why the need to shed demand (shut people down) became so immediate. Once the first energy supplier went down, demand had to be shut down in order to balance.
So, what happened in Texas was indeed according to plan. Shutdowns had to happen to supply ANY energy on the grid due to the need for balance.
The real question will be the details as to why rolling blackouts became hours-long shutdowns, and that's likely because of the severity of the storm.
The media acts like the electricity should NEVER go out, but if it hadn't happened like this, it would have been a weeks long shutdown like the blackouts years ago in the northeast.
Abbot's being a bit of a little bitch to throw ERCOT under the bus. The system, even with painful realities, worked as planned.
These asshats gambled and lost. No reason to feel sorry for them.
Excactly, anon. Exactly.

It was a rot13.
Google translate has deleted the word. It means fullness.
Jews think we owe them because of the promise of the fullness of G-D.
Seriously. It's a thing. Look it up.
Anon was called Tesla for figuring it out at the time.
